Phosphorus

Phosphorus is a mineral regulated by the kidneys. In chronic-kidney-disease, phosphorus levels rise as kidney function declines, contributing to calcium-phosphorus-balance disruption, tissue mineralization, and ureteral-stones.

Key Facts

  • Target level in CKD Stage II-III: <4.6 mg/dl
  • Target relaxed in Stage IV to <6.0 mg/dl (more realistic)
  • Managed through renal-diet (phosphorus restriction) and medications
  • Fish-based diets can cause phosphorus imbalance even in healthy cats
  • Species: dogs and cats
